By the middle of the Meiji Restoration, the state was still led by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) as a model for all walks of life in Japan. In the later period, the chaebol was powerful and simply carved up state-owned enterprises. ”

"At that time, Japan's state-owned enterprises were inefficient, the workers' work attitude was bad, and the state-owned enterprises could not be sustained!"

"You're speaking for the chaebol!"

"You're the one who doesn't care about the truth!"

Young people are motivated and have a strong sense of initiative. On the other hand, there is also a lack of ideas to look at the problem objectively and comprehensively. After Kita Yihui led a group of college students to conduct a social survey, the students were surprised and excited for a short time, and immediately explained history according to their own ideas.

It didn't take long to go from historical research to personal attacks. Almost without exception, all young people associated with the chaebols that carved up Japan's state-owned enterprises tend to criticize the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises, while college students from ordinary backgrounds tend to deny Japan's practice of carving up state-owned enterprises in those years. Even though both factions were extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in Japan, the temporary team led by Kita Kazuki was still divided over the issue of position.

After a few days of arguing, the status quo maintainers approached Kita Yihui, "Mr. Kita, we're going to quit the team!" Keita Asakura, who is related to the Mitsui Foundation, said seriously, "I have learned a lot from Mr. Kita these days, and I am very grateful." ”

"Asakura-kun, why do you have to leave?" Even if he had guessed this possibility a long time ago, Kita Yihui still felt quite regretful.

"Social investigation is supposed to be a matter of facing the future, but there are people who always cling to the past. My classmates and I couldn't accept this, so we had to quit. Keita Asakura's words were rather unkind, "The academic discussion has turned into a personal attack, which has completely violated the original intention. So I beg Mr. Kita to allow us to leave. ”

Personal attacks are almost inevitable, and Kita is perfectly understandable about them. Depending on the class, the interests also have completely different categories. Kita Yihui didn't answer immediately, he lit a cigarette for himself first, so as to organize his thoughts. The class struggle with class consciousness is extremely acute, and everyone who wants to change and has a certain understanding of society will demand that this change not only protect their own immediate interests, but also increase their own interests. Those who have a deep understanding of society may be able to accept the current losses more calmly, but what they pursue is the future benefits.

The rise of the People's Party is completely in line with such a law. In the face of tremendous external pressure, under the leadership of a strong leader, the People's Party has made up its mind to completely smash the old China and establish a new China. And really put this determination and ideal into practice.

If China had not been so humiliated by foreigners in China and forcibly carved up China, the People's Party would never have risen so strongly. Kita had only learned this from the classroom, but now he really understood it. The split in the social survey team proves this in a very straightforward way.

Who can make up their minds to destroy everything that is old until they are cornered? Even if Chen Ke has such determination and insight, and has the ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain with his hands, if he does not have followers, Chen Ke is just an ordinary person who is alone. It was the fierce blows of foreign invaders to China, and it was the incompetence and greed of the Manchu government that gave Chen Ke the space to give full play to his abilities.

The Japanese People's Party has also tried to establish a Japanese branch of the People's Party in Japan, but with little success. Because the Japanese, who were hopeful about China, chose to go to China to participate in the revolution, or chose to come to China to eat. Bei Yihui once looked down on these people, and he thought that these people were indulging in the superior environment of the moment. Who wants to go back to Japan and eat bran when you can eat meat when you put in the hard work in China?

The reality of the situation forced Kita to consider the reasons why the Japanese People's Party members were probably correct, and it might be more efficient to take advantage of the great tide of the Chinese revolution to find a way to fight back to Japan. A single social survey can lead to a split in the team, because external pressures are not strong enough, and ideas about the future are still quite confusing within Japan.

"You choose to leave now, are you admitting defeat?" Kita Kazuki asked Keita Asakura.

"Huh?" Keita Asakura was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but the people behind Keita Asakura were also stunned.

"Is it only because those people said things you don't like to hear? I don't think so. The reason you left was probably more because you couldn't convince each other. Kita used the work skills he had learned from the People's Party.

"They're completely unreasonable!" Keita Asakura is a young man after all, and he was skillfully criticized by Kita Ikki for running away, but his fighting spirit was still aroused.

"Everyone has their own reasoning, it's just that everyone doesn't want to admit other people's reasoning." Kita replied. After saying that, he wrote four words on the paper. For Japan in 1923, Chinese was a compulsory subject for literate people.

The four characters written by Bei Yihui are actually just two words, but in a different order. Those are the words "struggle" and "struggle".

"Struggle is part of struggle, but struggle is not the same as fighting. There is indeed a struggle, and now it is an ideological struggle. Both sides believe they are right. Ordinary people think this way and think that they are absolutely right. But you are not ordinary people, and as college students, you will inevitably be the ruling class of the country in the future. There is even a chance to become a ruler. The first priority of a ruler is to seek truth from facts. Kita's words were serious.

Hearing that Kita Ikki gave himself such a high evaluation, and even called him "the future ruler of Japan", the young people immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"Mr. North, those people are not reasonable at all. They put all the blame on the government's abandonment of state enterprises, which I don't think is right. Amakura said in a loud voice. Because he had noticed that the students from the other faction outside had also arrived outside the door of the room where Kita Yihui was, his voice was extremely loud.

"Come in too." Kita Yihui greeted the people outside.

Soon, all the college students who participated in the social survey gathered. The room was divided into two distinct groups of people, and they each stood together in a group, with a great posture of incompatibility.

Bei Yihui glanced at the students standing on his left and right respectively, and everyone's eyes were full of firmness of "I am right", and no one felt weak.

"Gentlemen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has been destroyed, always thinks that they are absolutely right because they are complacent. Therefore, in the face of Japan, which opened its eyes to the world, it was beaten to the ground. Japan, which had defeated the Manchus, was defeated again and again when it encountered the People's Party, which overthrew the Manchus. The Japanese Navy was able to maintain its superiority over the People's Party only because it had a navy decades earlier than the People's Party. Last year, the People's Party produced more crude steel than ten times that of Japan. If Japan is still the way it is now, it will not take 20 years for the Japanese navy to be powerless in the face of the People's Party's navy. Don't get excited, I'm talking about facts backed up by data. Kita Yihui looked at the angry student, and finally had to temporarily suppress it.

"Mr. Kita, how is it possible that the People's Party's steel production is ten times that of Japan?" Keita Asakura said.

"I'm talking about crude steel, not steel." Kita Ikki corrected. These people are college students after all, and the difference between steel and iron is still understandable.

"When I was in China, I met a lot of high-ranking people in the People's Party and talked to them about the Manchus. Do you think the top brass of the People's Party commented on the Manchus? Kita asked.

The students looked at each other, and the question was beyond their imagination.

Bei Yihui didn't want to sell Guanzi either, he gave the answer very simply, "The top level of the People's Party does not evaluate the Manchus with good or bad at all. When they talk about the Manchus, they only mention what the Manchus did and what results these practices led to. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a humiliating government for China, but the humiliation was only one result. The reasons and processes that led to such results should never be evaluated by the top level of the People's Party with good or bad. They just analyze and explain from facts. It is such a group of people who led China to beat us Japan to the ground! ”

Japan's defeat in the war with the People's Party eventually led to Japan's withdrawal from China. It's no secret anymore. It's just that the war didn't lead to Japan's land reparations, and the Japanese government and military department made efforts to manipulate public opinion, so Japan believes that this is only a "setback" rather than a "defeat".

Immediately, a student said impassionedly: "Mr. Bei, we must have a chance to defeat China." Reoccupy Manchuria! ”

Bei Yihui immediately criticized: "What you say is not seeking truth from facts. In the wars that have already taken place, we have lost. None of us can guarantee victory in future wars. If the army thought it could wage a victorious war, they would have done it a long time ago. ”

The student's face flushed, his breathing became very heavy, and his expression was extremely unhappy. The reason why he didn't refute Kita Yihui was because he obviously hadn't found a way to refute it yet. But that doesn't mean he will admit defeat.

Bei Yihui did not appease this student's idea at all, he opposed being rash, but it did not mean that Bei Yihui could accept an attitude of not seeking truth from facts. If this student chooses to leave angrily, Kita Yihui will definitely not stop him.

Glancing around the students again, Kita Yihui said in a stern tone: "Since you are the ruling class of Japan in the future, I ask you to have the thinking and methods of rulers. If the monarchs are still the same as the current rulers of Japan, then the future of Japan will continue to fail one after another. In this regard, I hope that you will be enlightened! ”

Of course, people will stick to their own truths, but when faced with a more scientific attitude, except for those who are blinded by personal interests, almost everyone can feel the persuasiveness of the right thing.

Keita Asakura bowed his head slightly to Kita Ikki and said seriously: "Hey! ”

One by one, all the students agreed with Kita.

"Let's talk about the current state of the Japanese economy." Kita Ikki pulled the work back to the original scheduled track.
